The result was: rejected by Narutolovehinata5 (talk) 10:23, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Closing due to article concerns; no prejudice against renomination once the game is released and if the article is brought to GA status.
@Rhain and Epicgenius: I'm a bit uneasy about both of these hooks; I'm sure it's not intentional, but having nothing to say about media franchises other than "they exist" or "coming soon" sounds a bit like advertising to me. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:33, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
@Theleekycauldron: Definitely a valid concern, but I'm struggling to think of an interesting, concise hook using all three articles. Should this nomination be split into separate hooks, or refocused on one of the articles? (I'm not bothered if refocusing on one makes the other two ineligible for now; they can always be re-nominated upon 5× expansion or GA.) – Rhain☔ (he/him) 01:59, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
Well, I don't think we'd be losing eligibility on any of the articles. Opening up new nominations for each of the other articles is efficient, but probably a little cumbersome. I'd say that it'd be messier, but we can probably get by if you just propose separate new hooks down here and have them all reviewed and promoted into separate preps. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 02:05, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
I think proposing separate hooks is probably the best option; I've done that below. Please feel free to adjust my formatting as much as is necessary. – Rhain☔ (he/him) 05:23, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
More of a comment rather than a review, but I'd suggest against ALT1 and ALT2. Unless the reader is familiar with Naughty Dog or The Last of Us, they probably wouldn't find either hook to be intriguing. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 07:33, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Overall: @Rhain: Good article. Though I will agree with Narutolovehinata5 that hooks alt1 and alt2 are to Naughty Dog specific to be appealing but I find alt0 alright. Onegreatjoke (talk) 22:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
@Rhain and Onegreatjoke: Per the discussion of the DYK nomination for The Last of Us: Escape the Dark, I recommend withdrawing this nomination, as it's simply WP:TOOSOON for an article on the main page since the game is untitled and has not been released yet. Once the game is available, we should be able to cite reviews in independent secondary sources; at the moment, we are overly reliant on the vendor's own claims about this work in progress. No prejudice if/when this article is resubmitted for DYK when it reaches GA. Cielquiparle (talk) 08:34, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
This was originally a triple nomination, but has been split into three separate nominations. The other two are Template:Did you know nominations/The Last of Us (franchise) and Template:Did you know nominations/The Last of Us: Escape the Dark. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 18:43, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
